PCF receives no federal funding. In fact, only 4% of all federal cancer research dollars are allocated to pediatric cancer.
Making matters worse, future federal funding remains uncertain amid rising budget cuts. With grant requests up 104% from last year, PCF is needed more than ever.
As a result, doctors and researchers are more reliant than ever on foundations like ours to support their life-saving work.
Each year, we receive grant requests from leading oncology institutions nationwide.
Our Medical Advisory Board of oncologists carefully evaluates each proposal by following a thoughtful approach based on a multi-faceted rubric system.
Donations and grants received will fund only those projects receiving the highest rating after careful review and oversight.
We support vital research across the full spectrum of pediatric cancers, ensuring even the rarest and most overlooked types receive the attention and resources they deserve.
We don’t just fund locally—we provide essential resources to hospitals and doctors nationwide.
We follow through on every project, ensuring progress is tracked throughout its lifespan
